An exploration of the major themes and debates relating to Nazism. The last edition was published in 1993, since which interpretations have been augmented or, occasionally, radically revised by continuing research and fresh thinking. This new edition takes into account work since then, with numerous changes throughout and rewriting of the chapters on "Hitler and the Holocaust" and "Shifting Perspectives". |
